No protect line means protect=1 !
Are you sure about that?
That is how it is explained in the documentation http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/yum/sn-yum-maintenance.html#sn-yum-plugins Adding protect= to all repositories You MUST add protect=0 to all repos in all .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ or any repos that you have in /etc/yum.conf if you want them unprotected, otherwise they belong to the protect=1 group. As a general rule add either protect=0 or protect=1 to each and every repo.
So, if the 'protect' option is not set, it the default value is false. This this also confirms how protectbase works in real-life on my machines.
Well, I'm certainly okay with that behavior, it's safer :-)
